Have to reset my router every other day
I got the Orbi AXE11000 (3 RBKE963B units) and it's worked great - up until 2 weeks ago. Now my network goes out every other day and can only be fixed by resetting (power-cycling) the router. To ...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

What channels are you using?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch.
I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.
Thanks for the reply Furry. Pretty sure I'm using the orbi system in the proper way - notice that it has worked perfectly fine for over a month - the question is "does anyone else experience this?"
Well maybe however something may have changed. Might be a good idea to give feedback on the questions presented so we can help you figure this out. There are also subtle factors that can contribute to Orbi not working right.
I haven't seen anyone else complain about this and also I saw 16days of solid uptime on my 9 series:
Thanks for the reply, then I can say it's either my hardware or how my network is set up.
FWIW I'm on the latest firmware (for both router and satellites) 6.3.7.5_3.2.25.
